PGCE Bursary

Some full-time eligible Home or pre-2021 entry or settled status EU students studying for a PGCE will receive a tax free training bursary through the University. 

If you’re a non-UK citizen you will not usually be eligible for a bursary or scholarship, unless you train to teach languages or physics.

Eligibility for the bursary depends upon the classification and subject of your first degree and what you plan to teach.

Part-Time PGCE Students

Please note that PGCE students studying on a part-time basis will receive the same financial support as part-time undergraduate students, unless their course lasts for less than a year. See Part-time Student Funding page.
